  • A Sober Wake-Up Call The Morning After [View article]
    The irony is that Obama has been re-elected on the backs of the african american vote, the irony is that african american unemployment is north of 14% (last time I read anything on it). Nearly double that of whites... Of course this plays into the theory that people voted for him so that they could be provided for while being unemployed.

    The poor will get poorer and the rich will... well still be rich.

  • Going over the fiscal cliff "looks like where we're headed," says Senate Majority Leader Reid. S&P 500 losses accelerate, -0.7%[View news story]
    I thought we were blaming the lindsay lohan family?

    To blame just one party is just ignorant, both parties failed here, extremism is alive and well here in the US and it's destroying our ability to compromise.

  • Republican House Speaker John Boehner says he’s not sure Congress and President Obama can reach a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff. “I’m not confident at all,” Boehner quips. It may just be electioneering by the Republicans to keep the heat on the President going into October, but it's risky banter with a resolution already priced into the markets - like we have right now. [View news story]
    keep drinking that cool aid, while the average american suffers our politicians enjoy some of the best pay and benefits the world has to offer. But hey if i could vote to raise my own pay despite being the most ineffective body in history I'd try to keep my job too.

  • Microsoft Windows 8: No Effect On The Smartphone Market [View article]
    You know what, I'm starting to believe that SA authors/contributors have figured out how to make the most money. Write absolutely ridiculous articles with absolutely ridiculous titles and make money.

    I'd like to apply to be a contributor so I can write an article titled "Steve Jobs rises from the grave to take over MSFT and compete with his former company"

  • Apple (AAPL) is likely to more than double its dividend this year, says Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty after talking to CFO Peter Oppenheimer.

  • The next iPhone (AAPL) will be "the most impactful device in Apple's history," predicts FBR's Craig Berger: he thinks the product could be good for 50M-52M builds in calendar Q4, and over $50/share in earnings over its lifetime. Berger expects baseband and power management chip supplier Qualcomm (QCOM - previous) to be a major beneficiary, and also sees Fairchild (FCS) and NXP (NXPI) gaining chip content relative to the 4S. Many analysts are expecting blowout Q4 iPhone sales. [View news story]
    I really doubt that it can be the most 'impactful' device in Apple's history... It's another smartphone just like the last 3 renditions... Unless it makes me bacon and eggs while I'm in the shower it's just a better smartphone. Not really impacting anything but people who are upgrading to the next rendition.

    The first gen iPhone sure definitely, irrefutably the most 'impactful' product Apple created...
